The 2018 GI Joe Convention took place June 21-24 at the Chattanooga Convention Center, in Chattanooga Tennessee. Joe Con was celebrating its 25 wonderful years of conventions and GI Joe Fandom. But the celebration was a bit bittersweet, because it was also to be the last Joe Con. Although it was the last Joe Con, fans, exhibitors, and organizers spirits were still very high throughout the entire weekend.
To help celebrate this last Joe Con, Kevin Reitzel, cofounder of the Fandom Podcast Network and member of the GI Joe Finest, and his guest host Johnny Karzai, the Public Relations Officer for the Finest, decided to podcast live from the Marriott hotel on Friday night June 22nd. As it tuned out, this was the place to be for Joe Con fans and attendees. The party started at 8pm and the live podcasting started shortly after.
After a quick introduction, Kevin and Johnny started out with fantastic news about the Finest goals for its chosen charity "K9's For Warriors", that were celebrated at the Finest booth at Joe Con.
Then what came next, was a fantastic lineup of great guest interviews.
